I took a look at test019 and it seams that the master and slave run on 
different ports and use different slapd.conf files. Will go through 
slapd.conf examples in detail to see if I can find any magic tricks that 
will help me get it working on the same port and in a single slapd.conf 
file.

This is good to know, I am currently testing the replication of a 
database with 70K entries between CERN in Geneva and the University of 
Melbourne.  After this
I will do some more tests with multiple masters.
